- (By Associated Press)
REYKJAVTK, Iceland, Aug. 8.—
A conference called by Rear Ad-
miral Thomas P. Mzteruder on the
flagship Richmond today decided to
make a. final effort to find a feasible
landing place for the American
army world fliers on the east coast
of Greenland before recahing a. final
decision as to whether the remain:
der of the flight for the present sea-
son would have to be called off.
The cruiser Raleigh of the patrol
fleet has been ordered to leave to-
morrow morning to investigate the
ice conditions on the Greenland
coast and find a. possible alternative
from Angmagsalik as a. landing
place, the supply steamer Gertrude
Bask being icebound and fog bound
in that vicinity.
Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith. the
flight commander who is assisting
Lieutenant Eric H. Nelson of the
airplane New Orleans in bringing
the two flight planes ashore for
overhauling. left this work to at-
tend the conference with Captain
Wm. C. Watts. of the Raleigh, and
Major Clarence E. Crumrine of the
Army Air Service on the Richmond.
The New Orleans was beached
safely this morning for the over-
hauling process.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 8.—-Army
Air Service officials declared today
no ”dispatches had. been received

Show Big Success
Norwalk will long remember the
show given at the Regent last night
for the benefit of the Salvation
Army Home in this city. The Sal-
vation Army and the Salvation Army
committee will recall it with plans-
ure because it brought to this
worthy cause over $4,000. Those
who attended it‘will remember it
because it was one of the best Nor-
walk has ever seen and probably
better than any other city in the
state has ever seen.
Edmund Breese will remember it
because he probably never worked
harder in all his life, not only to
make a financial success ‘of the
affair but to see to it that every one
who helped the fund received their
full value in entertainment. And
that he was successful in every way
was proved by the happiness of cv-
eryone with the results.
David Esterson, of the Regent
theater. will remember it to be-
cause he gave his theater absolutely
free for the great affair and had the
pleasure of seeing Norwalk turn out
and pack his theatre. And those
who had the affair in charge will
remember the kindness of Mr. Ester-
son.
It was certainly a. great show.
Norwalk should have more like it.

of course no house in\Norwaik could
